Referring to gay people as “they” isn’t derogatory either, it just means “them.”

There are far more important issues facing this country that a lot more people are interested in like legalizing pot, I’d like to see an anonymous poll of players who support pot or gay marriage more

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:06:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1893773#comment-2427775I find it troubling that Ayanbadejo seemed to specifically link religion to a person’s stance on whether gays should be allowed to marry each other. I don’t dispute that the majority of people backing measures such as Proposition 8 likely do so primarily because of their religious beliefs. However, there are many people, including myself, who cite their religious beliefs as the biggest reason why they support allowing gays the right to marry. So religion is not a divide in this matter, merely one of the reasons people have given in taking a stance on the issue.

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 05:36:59 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1893773#comment-2427750Since we don’t seem to be able to avoid mixing politics with pro football …

To the idea that people who don’t support same-sex marriage are bigots, I have the following question: if a person does not believe in same-sex marriage because of their religious belief about the definition of marriage, doesn’t the condemnation of a religious belief (calling those who hold a certain set of beliefs “bigots”) in itself bigotry?

How does anyone not see the irony in the statement “I can’t stand those Christians. They’re bigots.”?

I hate how people like Ayenbadejo boast upon their world view of being “open minded”, thus insinuating they are more intelligent than the rest of us.

It’s your opinion that what you believe is right, as is its my opinion that what you say is wrong. I’m not calling you stupid, so please don’t call me stupid… You should be a little more open minded.

__________________

You’re being called a bigot because you are denying American citizens equal right.

For argument sake lets say your next door neighbor are a gay couple who lived together for the last 10 years. If you woke up tomorrow and they got married, how it would have any affect on your life? People are trying to stop something that has zero effect on your life. No one can be “gay” at you.

If you really were open minded you’d understand people can have different views and beliefs. I personally am not against gay marriage but just because someone is certainly does not make them a bigot.

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:00:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1893773#comment-2427548I just hate when people who are for gay marriage say “what’s the difference between being racist and not being for gay marriage?”

Skin color is based on how you were born. It is unchanging, obvious, and easily definitive.

Sexual orientation is based on ACTIONS you perform privately. It is not necessarily unchanging (I work at a gay bar, more than one person has changed their sexual identity within the year I’ve worked there), not obvious, and not easily definitive. What about bisexuals? Should we allow two men and a woman to be married?

Just because I don’t agree with gay marriage doesn’t make me hate gay people. Saying that will never fly with the pro gay marriage supporters. Except I’ve been to a coworkers’ gay “wedding”, I’ve been to gay pride, and I’ve worked at a gay bar. Not many that are for gay marriage are that educated first hand.

You’re intolerant and discriminatory towards some group. That’s the definition of a bigot.

Stop hiding behind the word “opinion” and admit to being who you really are.

People like you are the ones who coined phrases like “separate but equal.” It’s not racism, it’s just an opinion, right?

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:23:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1893773#comment-2427422Why would you have a problem with gay marriage, unless you had a problem with gay people?

If you don’t want people to call you a bigot, then stop being one.———————————————–

This is such a weak argument I am going to throw up and look for something more intelligent to debate within my pile of vomit. A bigot wouldn’t talk to or give the time of day to someone he is a bigot towards.
It is possible to love people and not approve of their decisions.Is it my place to tell them I disapprove. Absolutely not. Can I give them my opinion if asked about a subject? I sure can. If you are scared of the answer, do not ask the question. If your going to speak about someone different than yourself, it is extremely important not to speak down to them. It is quite possible to have discussions with heterogeneous groups that don’t have people spewing hatred and intolerance. Public speaking 101.

From all that I have notice Gay people have the rights and liberties to Speak as they feel. Yet, when someone speaks against that lifestyle and or show no support. The agenda button is push. And you become apart of the worse people in the world… So called bigots who are hiding behind the Bible. Just a thought.

i think my favorite part of this delusion is that he thinks these employees want to hear his rantings, and that he thinks they find it a respectful discussion, when in fact they’re just biting their tongues because they want to keep picking up a paycheck. behind your back those people think the opposite of what you’re portraying yourself as. they think you’re a bigot, and a blowhard.

You had a respectful conversation that involved one side biting it’s tongue?

Yeah, that is the definition of a “respectful conversation.”

Anyone who doesn’t share your opinion is a bigot?
Interesting.
Maybe you should take a look at the definition of bigotry.

I’ve hired gay people before and treated them with the same respect as all of my other employees. I have even had discussions with them about this very issue, in a respectful manner. I think you are mistaking my firmness in my beliefs with bigotry. In fact, me being called a bigot , narrow minded, and stupid makes you the bigot my friend. Just because my beliefs are that gay marriage is wrong, does not mean I am throwing mud at gay people or calling them names, or discriminating in anyway.
